"What's in the Water" LYRICS:

[1st VERSE]
Dying of thirst, tryna find an oasis
Finally paying for all the time that I've wasted
I said life was a race but I was driving Miss Daisy
See the truth will shine a light on all your lies if you face it
And so that's why you might hate me, at a party won't play this
If I tried to basic, I would finally be famous
I could be crowned for a favor, I could be drowning in paper
I could have all the kingdoms of the world and bow down to Satan
Matthew 4:9 if you doubt what I'm saying
Matthew 6:6 - keep it down while I'm praying
Revelation 1:9 I'm on an island come and save me
Proverbs 20:21 these sellouts are so hasty
If music ain't 'bout the fans, then why do you make it?
Put your soul in man's hands and you're proud when they take it
The devil's as a lion on the prowl he gon' break ya
But the crowds'll probably praise you - this world is driving me crazy I swear

[CHORUS]
We're losing the American way
Watch your way of life as it circles down the drain
What's in the water everybody seems the same
What's in the water everybody seems the same

We're losing the American way.
Wash away your life as it circles down the drain.
What's in the water everybody seems the same
What's in the water everybody seems the same

[2nd VERSE]
You can keep me off your playlist, you can take me off your setlist
But one thing you will do is respect this
It's been a long time coming I've been all out running
And I ain't lying I'm starting to feel restless
Three CDs in, five if you count the first two.
The darkest times of my life are what I've worked through
Used to be sick and so fly, like the Bird Flu
I've done wrong, apologize if I've hurt you
Never been the same since I heard the truth
Watch every word you say is what I've learned to do
Before I reach the grave do what I'm determined to
I just want to let you know: lead, don't desert the crew
Always keep a watchful eye, snakes'll try to stomp you out
Watch the one who talks a lot, he'll shake you till your wallet's dry
'Fore I reach the coffin I, state the things that are on my mind
Music ain't worth it if you're just chasing a dollar sign.

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
Thought I was down, thought I was out
But I ain't leaving you yet
What goes around, comes back around
So you gon' see me yet

[OUTRO]
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood;
Against principalities, against powers
'gainst the rulers of the darkness of this world,
Against spiritual wickedness in high places. (x4)
